I just watched the movie and its just amazing! Just like everyone else has probably already said I gotta just say how amazing Christopher Walken is! His performance in this movie is flawless and Nick was my favorite character. You did a really good job writing this fic!

Wow. Just wow. I watched the Deer Hunter for the first time recently and to say the least I was blown away by it. This is an impressive account of Nick's last thoughts, very alike to his character, despite having lost it a bit by now. That scene quite possibly shattered my heart, it was just so unexpected! I perfect rendition, brilliant. Superb. If I compliment you any more I may start repeateing myself, so I'll stop.

Thank you.

Why did I say that? It had something to do with the deer. Two is pussy. Play with three- it'll all be over. Then we can go, but will it be home?

- I loved that. Great writing. :)

The Deer Hunter is so fantastic, Chris Walken really shone in that movie. He was by far my favourite character. Nice work.

Who...

I read The Deerhunter yesterday and I wasn't all that thrilled. But yout piece rocks! I like it more then the book, thank you for writhing it, there aren't many storys about Deerhunter or Platoon or any other 'Nam Movie

Whoa...

I just bought this movie yesterday after it completely blew me away (no pun intended) on Encore. I was surprised it would have any fanfic at all, but I also knew that any story about THE DEER HUNTER would have to be incredible.

This...was. It was such a beautiful glance into Nicky's mind, and a refreshing take on his last scene (especially since we see it completely from Michael's point of view). The overwhelming tragedy of this fic is so in-tune with the nature of the movie, and the fact that we already know Michael's thoughts during this scene make it more gut-wrenching to realize that Nicky doesn't realize who he is.

Anyway, a great story. Now on my favorites.

christopher walken was the best part of that movie. [he was a complete fox]

Great story! Nick was totally the best character in the movie! Wonderful take on his last thoughts!

*stares in complete awe at the computer* wow...I've never seen the movie, but I've heard from other walken fans...like myself, that it is emotionly shattering. How heartbreaking! I love mr. walken's work, though, and I agree...he is so adorable, not spooky!
Plug chapter 1 . 12/14/2003
Simply awesome. It was excessively cool to find a Deer Hunter fic, and it was an added bonus that it'd be so well written. Very in character, very poignant, very visceral. Thanks for writing it.
For the record, my favorite scene in DH is the first Russian Roulette scene where De Niro convinces the Gouks to put three bullets in the gun and Walken is crying and then De Niro screams this primordial scream as he pulls the trigger. That had to be one of the most intense things I've ever seen.

This perfectly captures Christopher Walken's character Nicky. I thought that he and De Niro had the best scenes. Watching Bravo gave me a new experience when I saw this movie.

Hey there. I just barely read u're fanfic about "The Deer Hunter" on . Unfortunatly, I know u made this fic a while back and I'm sorry I didn't find it sooner. I am also a big Walken fan and saw a lot of his movies. I think u're fic is very well written and I want to know if you have written any others.
The Phantom chapter 1 . 4/17/2003
A very poignant glimpse into the most powerful moment in the movie.

De Niro and Walken rocked that film, and this final scene was so mind-blowing and shattering that it was very difficult to watch.

I really liked Nicky's voice here. I could definitely hear it in my mind, could replay that confused-yet-irritated look on his face and have it fit the words.

The drifting recognition at the end was heart-breaking. Very good job.

Bravo!

It's well-written and interesting. I haven't seen the movie in years and years, but the story still made some sense.

This story is really well-written, but I don't think Mike was a "control freak."
